Seasons Greetings from Robert (and GingerSnap) in Port Townsend! We hope you are able to make the best of whatever situation life may find you in at this time.

My mom made the wreath and Santa locomotive back in the 1960's. It has survived a dozen marriages and hundreds of moves. It recently won First Prize in the annual "decorate your front door contest" where I dwell.

And what is Christmas without Christmas music! One of my favorites back in the days when I was a country-western deejay. From 1970, "Country" Charlie Pride!

Wednesday is the first day of Summer. That is, if you live in Brasil, South Africa, or Australia. Here in the Northern Territories, it is the first day of winter. From now on, the days will be getting longer, by an average of two minutes per day. Time to get the tank tops and shorts in the washer!

Indeed, I co-owned Media Resources, Inc. in Vancouver Washington for a number of years.

When I began writing this Blog, the focus was on second-generation diesel power. As a young lad living in Prince Rupert, from 1957 through 1959, I began learning about diesel-electric locomotives. The Twilight of steam.

While my core interest remains unchanged, I have changed. Therefore, from time to time, I present subject material that I find absolutely interesting, hopefully you will too!
